Maybe this topic has been posted in the member's corner (I never check there), but I thought I'd share something that I just read over in the local MB. ITR owners bring even more attention to thieves... so please take precautions each and every time.

Remember, your car is not worth your life.

Two kids were shot and killed trying to protect their Civic in Houston Texas...this is truly sad and makes me sick to my stomach.

This was all caught on video.

Here is a summary, as the conversation by one of the viewers of the video is hard to follow.

A group of 4 people, 2 in 2 seperate cars arrive at an AMC theater.

They leave one car, the civic in question, at the parking lot.

They come back at 5a.m. to find two Asian Thugs who were part of the CBC attempting to steal their car.

Two guys, Shaun and Mike, pull the thugs out of the car and give them a firm ***-kicking.

The two thugs leave the area and drive their car behind a Benigans to pull out two guns.

The thugs come back to the scene and shoot Shaun in the chest.

Mike runs to his car and fumbles with the keys, cannot get into the car, and turns to shield his body. He is shot 2 times in the back and 2 in the neck.

Their other two friends ran at the sound of the first gunshot.

Shaun has ran around the side of the building trying to get away.

One of the the thugs, 16 years old, jumps in his car and chases after Shaun. He shoots at him 4 times and misses and attempts to run him over with his car and misses as well.

The other thug, 18 years old, ran around the building to flank Shaun. Shaun tries to run, but the 18 year old shoots him in the back.

Shaun is dragging, and tries to climb over some kind of median or something in the road, I'm not sure what.

The 18 year old thug walks up to him, spits on him, and then blows his brains out all over the pavement.

The two friends return shortly to find Mike dying in his car and Shauns blood sprayed all over a wall.

The two suspects are in Custody and I hope they die a slow, horrible, and painful death.

Shaun was 20. Mike was 23. Life had only started for these two guys, and was taken from them all over a CAR.

R.I.P. Mike & Shaun

 

sad..

note to self... take a ccp class asap.

 

terrible

 

thugs.

 

Yeah its a sad. Those CBC (a cambodian gang) are bunch of pussies killed them. I hope they both will fry in the electric chair or lethal injection since we're in TX. My prayers go out to the victim's families.

 

Unbelieveable.

 

My prayers are in the air for the victims families. Bash on the CBC!

 

What the f*ck. Thats all I can say.

 

All of this malarchy for a CIVIC or a car none the less.

 

that's one of the most f**ked up things i've ever heard of in my life. my heart/prayers go out to the families of the victims, and my curses go out to those punk kids who show no respect for anything.

i can't believe what people would to... and the worst part is, that could have been me, or anybody here...

screw that, if theives want my car, that's why i have insurance. it sucks d**k, but i ain't about to get capped by some low-lifes who can't take an *** woopin' like a man...

 

.....what is this world comin too.

 

 

all i can say is wow....and that is really sad.

 

I'm speechless.

 

truly sickening.... i really feel sick after reading that.

the world is going down the tubes.

 

Sad.
This is what happens when society is easy on car theives. If they got locked up for 20 years on the first offense, this crap wouldn't happen.

 

That is the worst!

man..... that makes me feel awful that people can be so educated

 

truely tragic, that is such a shame in so many ways. RIP. be careful out there. if someone wants your car, just give it up. you might feel like a punk for giving in like that, but atleast you will still have your life, family, and friends. what comes around, goes around. these thugs and others will get theirs, one way or another.

 

We always have crazy **** like this happening in Texas. It's truly sad when human lives are taken by scum like these. Well, they are looking at capital murder because it was suring the course of another crime. Those sorry little ***** are going to get the death penalty.

 

I think they got shot because they beat up the thugs. They should have just told them to scram.

I hope those thugs get life.

 

I don't think they would have scrammed anyways.

I really hope they get life too

 

I can't wait to take delivery on the CZ-75 I'm getting...

People need to be armed these days. I contemplated wearing Body Armor in High School because of so many people getting shot and ****.

Suprdave

 

wow, thats something I can't express in writing, very sad indeed.

 

This is what happens to a society in which men are free to bear arms. Unfortunately punk ***** ****'s get ahold of them, then hurt, or kill innocent people. Hopefully someday our gov't will stop chasing foreign terrortist on foreign soil, and chase the terrorists(gangmembers) on our own soil.
